Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add this to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and finely diced jalapeño, distributing evenly throughout the dough.
Scoop the dough into 4 equal balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
